Left 4 Dead

Double post, sorry.

Anyways, I just finished a very exciting Death Toll campaign on advanced. It was all going swimmingly until the finale, when the first tank killed one of us. We survived and the second tank came. We were all crammed in the downstairs bathroom. I decided to get out and go upstairs. The tank and a horde came in. I shot at the tank, but it went for my teammates, still hunkered in the bathroom. The horde was killed but the tank incapped them. I ran up behind the tank with the autoshotty and started blasting, but to no avail. They were killed. And the tank was still alive. So I ran.

I was running back past the covered picnic area and I noticed a gas tank lying on the ground. So I crouched with my pistols and waited for the tank to come. It came, I shot and the gas tank exploded. Then I ran some more, around the other side of the picnic building to the shore. The tank was still coming at me, on fire. I unloaded into it and it went down.

I breathed a sigh of relief and made for the dock like a bat out of hell. I crouched at the end and saw the horde come. I could hear hunters and smokers and knew I was doomed if they got me. I got one hunter with my pistol, then used my shotgun to clear the dock as the horde ran towards me. But there were more right behind them. Right as the first zombies reached me, the boat had arrived and I lept on.

My adrenaline was up and I breathed a deep sigh of relief.

The most exciting game I've played so far.

Going solo is the most exhilarating experience to be had in l4d. Everyone's dead and it's you vs horde. Toss a molotov and pray you can snipe down any smokers or hunters if they get you...

Imo, the versus mode is where the fun is at.
Great game.

Run up to a witch (but don't touch her) and shoot her in the head with either shotgun as she is getting up. Shotgun pellet spread is a bit random and you have a pretty small margin for error with aiming, so auto-shotgun is probably best since it allows a follow-up if the first shot doesn't kill the witch.

BTW, do you have euro players in that Steam group?

Sure we have Euro players! At least, Aussies.

You have to get every single shotgun pellet to hit her in the face, and shoot her as she's standing up as someone else pointed out. When you run up on her you'll have a few moments before she goes crazy and rushes at you, you'll have to use those moments to get your aim perfect. Even if your aim is perfect you can still miss, a single pellet might get a weird spread and mess up the shot. Because of this always try to kill her with Auto-shotty as it gives you the best and post powerful spread.

On Easy or Normal you can just stand behind her with a hunting rifle and shoot her in the back of the head, but on Advanced or Expert you need to take the shotgun route (she has too much health to snipe).
